The Echo comes out a little late this week on account of not getting our paper from Mountain Home, where it has been for a number of days.

The great strike is not yet ended. It has at last broke out in Yellville. It is assuming interesting proportions. W Q Seawell has made a "strike" at high prices, and they "tumbled". It still goes on at his establishment, south of the court house and if you want to "strike" a bargain we advise you to call on him. One glance at his 5, 10 and 25 cents counters will convince you that his "strike' is in the interest of the people. Many useful house hold articles will be found on his Nickel Counter, such as tinware, towels, handkerchiefs, and other things too numerous to mention. It will pay you to examine the goods on these cheap counters. Remember, Seawel's stock is brand new, not shelf worn nor shoddy.
